DTG 1 Year Review Epson F2100 Direct To Garment
This is a review of the performance and my feelings of ownership for a DTG machine. This is based on 1 year of use. The machine is an Epson F2100 and the Mister T-1 Pretreat machine. For the record, I also have a Stahl's heat press.

Great review! It’s sad that truthful videos like this don’t get the attention they deserve. Most KZreadrs prey on what people want to hear vs facts.
Just subscribed as I have a policy of always subscribing to any channel below 1000. I wanted to say how much I loved the T shirt your wearing. Wonderful wonderful design. & I look forward to watching your video to final grok the inside dope. Thankyou for making it!!
I’ve owned one of these for 3 years and I still clicked on the video.. glad similar feedback
Thanks for honest review. Lotta info ppl don’t know. Ppl think it’s easy and they print money easy peasy
Dark side of the business people think of as "easy riches." Hardly any "influencers" are honest about these realities. Appreciate the video
Very honest and smooth review bro !
thanks for giving an honest reviews on this dtg machines.
This was amazing. Very useful. Thank you!
Nice vid. you covered a lot of topics I wanted to know from a Epson owner. It was one of the machines that we considered initially. Again, great informative video. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people doing research.

Saw your video before buying, honestly I agree not worth it unless you are selling at a really high price.
Pretreat them in bulk before hand - mate.I dont think we need dtg but we already have most of the equipment that he mentioned here for the process that we use. We are now looking to print full garments and sew them. As long as you can get this printer to use 3rd party high quality inks - you are golden. THE ONLY PROBLEM is the ink cost in most of these printers. But I understand the mans frustration - the white ink circulation constantly throwing your money away... :-))))) I would probably use it to print only white / light colour garments except if I find a cheap way of buying ink....
Great addition for the right shop but Im still waiting for the tech and the process to evolve more. One day it will largely replace traditional screen printing... but it isn't there yet. Long ways to go. Ive owned my shop for 14 years now and I would love to replace the old way with the new way eventually. Just isn't feesable yet. Too many things DTG can't do yet and putting one shirt on 3 machines numerous times is a bit much. Gotta love the print quality though. Limiltess color and high res with the push of a button. Awesome. No more dark room, no more screens. In the end, with an easier, quicker process, and no limatations concerning certain fabrics ... this will conquer the industry.

So you do screen printing? Do you do heat transfers as well? How have you been in business for so long? Any tips?

I do screen printing and I would use this for those 5 / 6 full color prints that I have to do a screen for each colors.

Somewhere out there is a person who bought a DTG for the same reason that wants to talk to you about printhead clogs because of inconsistent use😉
Dtg has already replaced screen printing when the large Tvshirt companies use them such as fifth sun
Good video, thanks for info.

Where did you buy the Ecofreen Mister T1 Pretreatment Machine
Which one is better for printing on the sneakers?
Thanks a lot for the video, it opened my eyes. I can see how much money i need to spend to start a business, plus labor intense. I will keep DTG aside look for something else.

take a shot and lowball someone like me who has one and is selling it. This thing takes up a lot of space and they no longer have use for it. They could go for a nice price...in my opinion anyway.
hey man ! what is difference in feel (repeat feel) between print of DTG and DTF machine, is DTG also rubbery like DTF at the end of the day ? Appreciate honest feedback of yours. Now that's a point - owner's not using out of frustration.
Please is that machine is good for printing cloth
How much epson pls sir? thank you
Amazing video man, thank you
Hello, I would like to bay ink chip for epson f2100 or chip reseter. Where can I bay it? Best quality.
You should have talked to DTG owners from other manufacturers before buying. Would you consider getting a referral fee for sending t shirt orders to another local DTG machine owner from a different manufacturer?
What's the best printing technology to print face or picture of persons onto a T-shirt?
I still want it. I really want it for the custom orders lol. I love the idea of printing ppl's personal pics.

I forget exactly. A few thousand or so. There is a counter on the machine. The guy that ended up buying it from me had a look. I personally never checked.
So I have to have that other machine as well???

I really don't have a huge issue with the machine. I just think it's labor intensive and not a huge moneymaker.
Of course someone local to me sells a machine at a great price and I miss out lol.

It's not about the actual labor and more about time before the next shirt can get started. If it takes you too long, you're losing money
Yes sounds like Epson is expensive and time consuming. Company I work with can print 30 shirts per hour on black surface at cost of $1 ink per shirt, 1200 by 1200 dpi, full color.
